Working on CSV to API (will call it something else)

 

No particular reason other than to learn particular stacks and routing.

 

I can do the CSV to API already using PHP on a LAMP stack. But I want to do it with Laravel/Node/ReactJS/Nginx on CentOS. I've got the CentOS/Nginx running so far, will get php-fpm next. I already have a LEMP stack running on another site. I have some experience with Node/React, but have to figure out how to serve Node/React without calling it by terminal (start automatically/keep running). Not sure if Express is necessary, I'm mostly just using React for components/front end interface.

 

The routing part is dealing with serving the parts of the site and using NGINX to route the react/php parts.

 

It's pretty cool, then dealing with possibly trying a multi-tenant db approach with static encryption (already done this with PHP).

 

Then seeing how much traffic a little VPS can take.

 

Yeah like I said, I can build this thing entirely (password hashing/encryption with memcache etc) using LAMP but I'm trying to do it with the technologies mentioned above.

 

I intend to set it up free as well. I realize there's probably no demand for this.

 

It's my February project, have to put in at least 1 hour per day. Last night I spent close to 3 just dealing with a raw install of Nginx on CentOs and getting first page served/dealing with SELINUX and firewall. Apache was so much easier to install/use from the start.

 

I may find that this won't work together as expected, (like is Laravel routing redundant with Nginx/Node routing).

 

edit: I do want to add there is literally an open source repo called "CSV to API" haha, and yeah I'm not saying this is a unique idea. There was also another thing I found by dream factory that supports CSV to API. It's mostly "I can do that" + "I need to learn these frameworks"

 

edit: yeah I'm already finding things that don't add up. I'm being stubborn, I want to throw in Laravel into the mix but both Node and Laravel are back-end technologies. Since PHP is my primary server side language I feel that I should learn Laravel. I'll figure it out. TL;DR trying to solidify my understanding/usage of these technologies.
